How Can I Get An Interview Call From FMS Delhi – CAT 2016 – MBA 2017- 19

FMS Delhi has announced the admission criteria for the MBA batch of 2017-19. A good CAT score still remains the main route to join this premiere B- School but there is a twist. FMS Delhi aims to become more gender diverse as well. The top schools giving extra marks to women candidates consists of IIM C, IIM L, IIM I, IIM K and now FMS. As per InsideIIM’s Gender Diversity report FMS has a lot of catching up to do – their latest batch has only 15% women. Like other top schools they have woken up to the new reality – recruiters want gender diversity in their companies.

Gender Diversity – The Big Change – FMS Delhi is also finally taking the ‘marks for being female’ plunge.

Women candidates will receive an additional 3% score for the purpose of shortlisting as opposed to male candidates.

A further 3% of aggregate marks will be awarded to shortlisted female candidates who appear for PI.

Selection Process

A composite score based on CAT marks will be used to shortlist candidates based on the above weights and criteria.

For e.g. if the scaled score of a candidate is 76 in Quant, 74 in DI and 65 in VA/RC then his/her composite score will be 76(30%) + 74(30%) + 65(40%) = 71

If the candidate is female she gets another 3 Points and the composite score for shortlisting is 74

This will be followed by Extempore and PI rounds.

The Final Composite score for selection will be calculated on the basis of Extempore, PI and CAT score, out of 100%.

An additional 3 Points will be given to women candidates again in this round.
